The Cloverdale High School volleyball team continued to roll on the league volleyball circuit last week, recording straight-set wins Middletown and Kelseyville.

The varsity football Eagles held a party with everyone invited in the home opener at newly renovated John Allen Memorial Stadium on Friday, highlighting the occasion with a 47-7 romp over Piner.

The varsity football Greyhounds climbed back in the win column in dominant fashion on Friday in front of an enthusiastic Recreation Park crowd, easily dispatching the visiting Willits Wolverines, 27-7.

Healdsburg Youth Soccer players returned to the field this weekend for the first time in two years after the 2020 fall season was canceled due to the pandemic. The players did not miss a beat with strong performances across all divisions.

The Eagles are off to a strong start on the league volleyball circuit, recording recent victories over St. Helena and Middletown to push their NCL1 record to 4-2 and 5-2 overall.

The West County High School (WCHS) football team did everything but sell hot dogs in week three of the season on Friday, running roughshod over visiting Vallejo in a 50-0 rout. The win pushed their season record to 2-1. 

The varsity football Greyhounds have learned a painful truth in their first pair of home games this season – the team that protects the ball usually wins.

The Eagles shook off 18 months of rust on Friday in their much-anticipated return to the gridiron, dismantling an over-matched Healdsburg squad in a 34-6 romp at Recreation Park.

The continuing threat of COVID-19 has hung like a dark cloud over youth sports as seasons have gotten underway this month, and teams of all levels are taking steps to mitigate the risk of exposure to the highly contagious Delta variant.

A decades long high school football tradition will come to an end this year when the Healdsburg Greyhounds say goodbye to venerable Recreation Park.
